“Allison did a great job! She was wonderful with making sure all the details were squared away before we left (like double checking about where we'd want her to sleep for staying over and making sure she knew where everything was for them). And, she was good with providing updates! They all looked great when we got home. Thanks!!”


“ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Phyllis is so sweet and I’m pretty sure she spoiled me as much as my boy!! She sent me so many pics and updates with added bonuses that made my vacation that much more enjoyable knowing he was in great hands!! She took great care of our home as well. I will book her again and again!!”


“MacKenzie was fantastic! We had a family member cancel with short notice for watching out 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were going on vacation. I quickly hopped on Rover to see who was near us, and decided to message MacKenzie based on other reviews that had been left. She was quickly able to come over and meet our gang to make sure it would be a fit. After that initial meeting, my husband and I both felt very comfortable and confident with her coming to stay and take care of things while we were gone. The day we were supposed to leave, we ran into some issues but MacKenzie was flexible and fast to communicate. She was very punctual and sent brief updates/questions throughout the week (she has our preference on communication and we had told her we didn't need regular check ins or updates). When we got home, we could tell our dogs and cats had missed us, but it was also clear that they had been well taken care of. Overall, if and when I may need another house & pet sitter, I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to MacKenzie and I won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help.”


“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter! She feed and walked Molly early each morning and played with her throughout the day. Molly got so much love and attention while we were away for the holidays and definitely loved Rebecca.”


“It was not easy leaving my dogs but I knew they were in good hands the minute I met Meghan. She took great care of my dogs and sent me detailed updates. I highly recommend Meghan and will definitely use her again!”


“Carlita Was great to my 2 dogs , she did everything I asked and more , my dogs now have a new friend they will be seeing every time I need a vacation, highly recommended”


“Jammie did it again. She takes such great care of our animals while we are away. We feel no anxiety at all leaving our fur babies in her care. I cannot recommend her enough. Communication and thoughtfulness can’t be beat!”


“I wish I could give 10 stars instead of 5 because that's how good Emily was with our dogs. She is personable and kind and our girls took to her instantly during our preliminary meeting before our trip. She made me feel comfortable leaving our pets and I knew they would be safe and loved while she housesat for us. Excellent communication and just a good person all around. Our dogs were pampered and cared for and I'm sure forgot all about the fact we were gone for 4 days. I am so happy we found Emily.”


“Sabrina did an excellent job farm sitting for our two horses and dog. She was dependable, flexible and handled a complex routine well. We would recommend and will be booking her services again. Thanks Sabrina!”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was 7 years old and professionally since I was 18 years old. I love ALL animals. I have experience with the following animals: Bearded Dragons, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Rabbits, Fish, Hamsters, and Birds. I know how to administer shots and give medications orally to Cats, Dogs, and Ferrets. I believe that pets aren't pets - they are family. I live in a house with my husband, 4 month old baby, and 2 kitties. I work a 9-5 full time job but can take breaks to help with walks, potty breaks, and feedings. I promise to give all of the love and attention your animal needs. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please reach out to me. Thank you! I have a full-time job however, I can take breaks throughout the day to attend to your animal's needs (walks, potty breaks, food, etc.). I have full availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats who get along with other animals. They roam around the house and tend to do their own thing. Staying in client homes, I will only use items/rooms that I am told can be used. I ALWAYS clean up after myself and will do light housework if asked/needed.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats & dogs, small & large breeds since I was 15. I took veterinary science for 3 years and I’m dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy ! As of right now, my schedule is flexible. I have classes on Tuesdays & Thursdays. I also have a part time job at a doggy daycare so I will always be able to care for your pets before & after work & my classes! I’m available for house sitting after 10 am starting Friday. I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs named Rudy(bichon frise)& Dior ( pitbull), as well as a curious bombay kitten named Sauron. I had a calico cat named Gracie whom I no longer have but loved very much. I can bathe/groom, give medication to your pets if they take medication daily. Once I move into my new apartment, pets will sleep in the same room as me & will be feed 2-3 times a day ( depending on how your feeding schedules work, i can change that.)

“We feel like we won the lotto with Safiyyah! All of our dogs loved her, even the shy one. She was attentive and didn’t hesitate to text if she had questions or concerns. She did a great job of keeping us informed and sending pictures of the pups. 10/10 recommend!”


“Brandie was awesome with Thor. We went away for the holiday weekend and felt like we were still there. She provided timely updates when she was there every time and provided pictures so we could check in our our baby. She was responsive and even gave me recommendations from our conversations. We will absolutely use her again if she’s available.”


About: I’ve always had multiple dogs my entire 28 years of life! As the youngest of 3, it was always up to me to walk, feed, and train the dogs. I currently have a 5 year old pit/pointer mix and a dachshund mix under a year old! We love going for walks at the river or visiting the dog park in Chester! My wife and I also have 2 cats, meaning our dogs are very active friendly! We love all animals, shape and sizes! We reside in Colonial Heights and have a relatively decent sized fenced in back yard! Our cats are spoiled and have a dedicated room where they can come and go as they please, no dogs allowed! We also have a spare room to accommodate any dogs that may need to be separate for any reasons. Safety is very important to me! In my car I have multiple doggy seatbelts and harnesses dedicated for riding. I look forward to showing your dog or cat to the Daisey Does It way! I truly care for anyone’s pets as my own. I currently work part time while attending part time classes at Brightpoint Community College. I’m home except for a few early mornings, so my availability is pretty open. I can walk dogs or do home visits throughout the day or night. I can also board a dog(s) on most nights throughout the week. I have a relatively large fenced in yard with lots of doggy toys! My wife and I have 2 dogs that love meeting new friends to play with! We also have two cats, they have always been around dogs. We treat all animals as our own. We believe animals are better than people, haha! Our pets are our children, they are allowed on the furniture, and sleep with us as well. We can crate your animal if needed and have a spare room if you’d like your animal separated for any reasons. Our dogs are trained for off leash hikes, but we do walk them around the neighborhood as well. I’d love to take your fur baby to the local river trails even to run off leash in my backyard!

About: I've taken care of dogs and had dogs all through life. Have fostered for Richmond ruff house. I enjoy taking care of animals and walk a lot so your pet will get plenty of exercise. I have a large fenced in backyard so your pooch can play freely and have potty breaks any time they need one. I work in office during the week and have the ability for your pets to be let out during the day and during the weekend am around full time for your pets. I have a fenced in yard, a daughter who loves taking care of animals and it is a smoke free home. I am happy to exercise and walk your pets regularly and maintain any feeding schedule you prefer. I currently work in office during the week and have a hybrid schedule at times. But my teenager is there after school to help and let pets out. I have a large yard with a 6 foot privacy fence. I have dog bowls and a large dog crate on site so less for you to pack.

Somerset pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was truly a phenomenal house/dog sitter. My furbaby is very anxious about new people and Emily was extremely patient with him to ensure his comfort. By the end of week, they were best buds!! She provided thorough updates throughout the day and showed she genuinely enjoyed caring for him. We will always call Emily before anyone else. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!

McKenzie did a great job watching my fur babies. I had a cat that did a disappearing act behind a false wall. She and her husband were able to pull out a fireplace and retrieve the little bugger! She was calm and called to let me know. House was well looked after. Definitely would recommend.

We feel like we won the lotto with Safiyyah! All of our dogs loved her, even the shy one. She was attentive and didn’t hesitate to text if she had questions or concerns. She did a great job of keeping us informed and sending pictures of the pups. 10/10 recommend!
